Former Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association, Randy Abbey has descended heavily on the Ghana Football Association over the Black Stars inability to qualify for the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Russia.
Ghana failed to qualify a fourth consecutive place at the World Cup after missing out on the sole ticket to group leaders Egypt placing third in Group E with 7 points.
Speaking exclusively to Oyerepa FM, the Hearts of Lions bankroller expressed his belief that the Ghana Football Association did not put out the right measures to ensure the country qualify for the quadrennial football showpiece in Russia.
"I heard Osei Parma on radio that we failed to qualify because we didn't pay indemnity for 2 matches, granted that's the case then we have a big problem because this is an association that can borrow to pre-finance a friendly worth $200,000 because the agent's money is not ready," Abbey declared on Oyerepa FM.
"So, my question is that, how can we have an FA that can find money to pre-finance a friendly and same FA turns around to tell us that we couldn't qualify because we failed to pay indemnity for 2 matches which could cost us around the same $200,000."
"You will look for money to pre-finance a friendly match that will not take us to the World Cup and will not even get paid but can't find money to pay for that which will qualify us for the World Cup. Such is the pity" he concluded.

Good we did not qualify, player bonus alone 3 million plus; accommodation and airplane for technical men supporters/foot soldiers and players will be another 6 million plus. The money can be used to build factories, and sustain free SHS.
Since 2009 when Mills became president, people like Randy Abbey, Nii Lante Vander Puije, Odoteye, Koku Anyidoho and the rest made it their project to remove Kwasi Nyantakyi as the FA president. They tried all possible means including dragging the FA to EOCO but they couldn't succeed, When Nii Lante became the sports minister the efforts intensified and he openly criticized, fought and condemned the FA. He also refused to finance the activities of the FA after the gov't received funds from FIFA that accrued due to the performance of the FA. Kofi Manu Blue Boy spilled the beans five years ago and refused to be part of the cabal. Now they are coming back with all kinds of criticisms. How did Randy Abbey build the shallets along the beach at Pramppram? The next time I will publish pictures of the buildings. Ghanaians love the FA despite the fact that we have not qualified for Russia 2018. Just allow the FA to do their job and stop the harassment because you will not succeed time too.
